A 36-year-old male patient was accidentally diagnosed with a tumor in the pelvic cavity by ultrasonographic examination. He had hematuria and the human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit level was slightly elevated.

Our management included extirpation of the mass with contralateral gonadectomy. Historically, patients with AIS would undergo gonadectomy to mitigate the lifetime risk of testicular germ cell tumor development; however, growing evidence suggests safety in retention and surveillance of these gonads into adulthood.
